Virtual fun

A while ago the family took a trip to Joseph's lab to see what he's been up to. While I've been to his lab many times, and seen others try the program out, I have never personally looked at his work. This time I put on the mask and swung the racquet. Joseph has told me a lot about what he's been working on - a virtual-reality racquetball court - but I was very surprised by how cool it was. I was fully immersed in this racquetball world, trying to hit the ball at a target.

 Caleb was a little afraid of a mama with no awareness of his whereabouts.

I was happy to keep playing the racquetball game for a while. Luckily, Joseph had activities to keep the kids busy. Emily loved these Hoberman spheres and spent a while figuring them out.

Elinor worked on putting some sunglasses on and climbing this exercise ball that Joseph's coworker uses for a chair.

Caleb snuck a quick workout in. You know how two-year-olds are. Exercise fanatics.

Actually he was pretty freaked out by the treadmill and got off as soon as he could.

It's super cool stuff going on in this lab, and I am excited by how much progress Joseph has made. Hopefully we'll see even more progress this year! ... like enough to graduate?
